1976 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Limousine by Mulliner Park Ward

PRX 4867roadUnited Kingdom

Engine: 6.23L all-alloy OHV V8, twin SU carburetors, power undisclosed
Colour: Reddish-brown, close to factory 'Chestnut' (repainted from original Willow Gold)

This 1976 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI limousine, bodied by Mulliner Park Ward on chassis PRX 4867, was built in left-hand drive configuration for the American market and delivered new in Willow Gold. Imported to the USA in 1976 by Barbara Carswell Management, the car is believed to have covered fewer than 20,000 miles from new, a figure supported by the modest wear evident throughout the largely original beige and brown velour interior. At some point the exterior was repainted from its original gold to a darker reddish-brown tone. The car spent time in Beverly Hills before passing into its most recent ownership around the late 2000s.

Maintenance & restoration

—
Bodywork
The original Willow Gold factory finish was repainted at an unrecorded date to a darker reddish-brown tone, described as close to the factory's Chestnut colour.

Service
A new battery was fitted and a brief mechanical check was carried out to bring the car back to a running and driving condition after an extended period of non-use.
The catalogue notes that a more thorough mechanical inspection would be advisable before regular use.
